Bus Histories: LGOC NS class

These histories are not complete. I currently do not have data about when most were rebodied
or fitted with pneumatic tyres. Overhauls, with body changes, occurred annually,
so some "new" buses went into service with overhauled bodies, and some overhauled chassis received new bodies.
Bodies came from a variety of manufacturers, building to the same specification and design.

The records are being patched together as I gather information from a variety of sources.
Particularly helpful have been:
General Buses of the Twenties, George Robbins, Images Publishing
London Bus File 1933-39 (DD), Ken Glazier, Capital Transport
Last Years of the General, Ken Glazier, Capital Transport
Battles of the General, Ken Glazier, Capital Transport
London Transport Service Vehicles, Kim Rennie & Bill Aldridge, Capital Transport
